I've got to tell people about this. Sobriety has been the best decision I've ever made.
In this engaging episode of 'One For The Road', host Sober Dave converses with Todd Kinney, an attorney from Omaha, Nebraska, who reflects on his transformative journey towards sobriety. Todd shares the profound impact quitting alcohol has had on his personal life and family, describing it as the best decision he's ever made. Growing up, Todd was surrounded by educators, with his mother being a teacher and later an administrator.
Despite a promising career, the legal profession's culture of alcohol consumption began to weigh heavily on him. The cycle of shame and regret associated with frequent drinking became unbearable, leading him to rethink his lifestyle. Fifteen years ago, Todd initiated changes, starting with abstaining from drinking at home during weekdays. This decision, although challenging, opened up new possibilities for personal growth. He relished waking up on weekend mornings without the hangover, appreciating moments with his family.
Todd emphasizes the importance of honesty, sharing his awakening moment when he realized the need to quit drinking entirely. This shift allowed him to experience life with clarity, leading to a newfound appreciation for sobriety. In addition to personal revelations, Todd discusses the prevalence of alcohol issues within the legal profession, highlighting the need for increased awareness and support. He also touches on the corporate packages offered by Sober Dave, aiming to foster cultures of holistic wellbeing and alcohol awareness.
Todd's story is not just about quitting alcohol; it's a testament to the power of self-discovery and the positive ripple effects on those around him. Through his experiences, Todd hopes to inspire others to consider sobriety and its benefits. As Todd approaches his five-year sobriety milestone, he reflects on the transformative changes in his life, encouraging listeners to explore the possibility of a life free from alcohol's constraints.
His journey serves as a reminder that personal growth often requires stepping out of comfort zones and embracing change. Join Sober Dave and Todd Kinney in this heartfelt discussion, offering valuable insights and inspiration for anyone considering a change in their relationship with alcohol.
